1
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: Good morning, peeps, and welcome to woka F Daily with

2
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: Meet your Girl Danielle Moody, recording from the bunker where

3
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: I will be for the next six weeks. Because your

4
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: favorite podcaster broke her toe over the holiday weekend. How

5
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: did I do that? I tripped up my stairs and

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: now for the next six weeks, I am immobile, awesome

7
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 1: beginning to summer. I hope that all of you had

8
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: a much better beginning of summer and Memorial Day weekend

9
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: than I did. Um I will say, let me, let

10
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: me stop. I have a lot of gratitude for my friends,

11
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: for my family and loved ones who have been checking

12
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: in on me, who helped me do shopping, who have

13
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: been really just lovely and wonderful. I'm just, you know,

14
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:12,559
Speaker 1: annoyed with myself. But folks, I did not stay away

15
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: from the news over the holiday weekend because I did

16
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: TV on Saturday and Sunday. And what I will say today,

17
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: which is the week, it's been a week since the

18
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: shooting in Uvalde, Texas. It's been a week since we

19
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: have learned about really just atrocious, disgusting, unbelievable, outrageous details

20
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: how nineteen police officers who were armed, stood outside for

21
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: an hour while children were screaming inside being massacred, while

22
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: two teachers were doing the jobs that police officers, who

23
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: whose budgets are forty of the entire community and town

24
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: and city of Uvaldi, did nothing, as reports come out

25
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: that some of those officers went in and rescued their

26
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: own children and left other children to the slaughter of

27
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: an eighteen year old arm with a weapon of war.

28
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: The New York Times over the holiday weekend had a

29
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: visual that said authorities say the gunmen accessed purchased the

30
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: gun legally, and it was literally fifteen of the last

31
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: mass shootings where the gunmen all got their guns legally.

32
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: Because we live in a country where at the age

33
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: of eighteen, you can't buy sudafed, but you can absolutely

34
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: buy an AAR fifteen. We live in a country where

35
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: we do not trust people with uteruses to make decisions

36
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: about their own bodies, because that's considered murder. But we

37
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: totally applaud as many did, thousands did at the NRA's

38
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: conference in Houston, where, by the way, guns were not

39
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: permitted because you know, safety measures. Applaud this. No rule,

40
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: no red flags, no background checks, no nothing, because they

41
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: believe it's a slippery slope. We're beyond slippery slopes. We

42
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: live in a country where parents, I don't even know

43
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: how you all are making the decisions these days. I mean,

44
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: my only prayer and saving grace is that it is

45
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: June and God willing in a couple of weeks, school

46
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: will be out for summer, so we can all collectively

47
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: hold our breaths for the next school shooting that will happen,

48
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: probably in September. And in the meantime there'll be just

49
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: other mass shootings that happen over the summer. It was

50
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: reported by the Washington Post that over the weekend there

51
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: were eleven mass shootings. Because now I had been saying

52
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: and again these stats change that a mass shooting is

53
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: four or more people that have been killed by a

54
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: gun at one time. Evidently it is seven in some

55
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: places considered. I mean, here's my thing, it's a mass

56
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: shooting if more than one person is killed, right, Like,

57
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: I don't need to, you know, to slash hairs over

58
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: this issue. The fact is that our children are not

59
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: safe in this country. We would rather ban books and

60
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: blame critical race theories and as Ted Cruz stupid ass

61
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: did blame doors and say that there should be one

62
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: door in and one door out of schools. And I

63
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: said in a TikTok that I did, which, by the way,

64
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: if you're not following me on TikTok, you totally should

65
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: because I am loose there. Let's just say that I

66
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: have no holds barred and it's Danielle Moody underscore FYI,

67
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,799
Speaker 1: if you are so inclined, but I said, Ted Cruz

68
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: may want to check with a fucking fire marshal about

69
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: one door in and one door out of a school,

70
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: because are we turning our schools into prisons? Because society

71
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: is so unsafe, We're arming teachers, We're doing everything except

72
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: even trying to try. As Shannon Watts, who is the

73
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: president of Mothers Against Gun Violence has said, we don't

74
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: even we haven't even tried trying. Right. It's not as

75
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: if we say, okay, well, let's check off all the

76
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: list of things that we have done to predict to

77
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: prevent mass shootings in this country, We've done none of them.

78
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: Background checks, red flag laws, minimum, you know, seven day

79
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: waiting period while you are evaluated. I looked at a

80
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: form a checklist that Canadians have to do in order

81
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: to get a gun, and I thought, my god, this

82
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: seems extensive and exhaustive. Right, so you can feel comfortable

83
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: knowing that the person that obtains a gun in Canada,

84
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: right has been thoroughly checked out. But in America, Nah,

85
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: you blow out eighteen candles on your birthday cake and

86
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: then you get to blow away as many as your

87
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: little heart desires. I don't know how else to say it.

88
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: We just don't care. You have Donald Trump, you know,

89
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: at the NRA, blaming everything, single parent, households, churches, lack

90
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: of church attendance, all of these things, wokeness, video games,

91
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: everything except for the assault rifle that has been used

92
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: in every single mass shooting that we've seen that have

93
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: made it to the headlines. It's been ten years since

94
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: kidna gartners and first graders who were mowed down in

95
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: their classroom in Newtown. It's been twenty three years since

96
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: two high school students at Columbine entered their school shot

97
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: and killed twelve people and then themselves. We've done nothing.

98
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: We've done nothing except make it easier, as Governor Abbott

99
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: did in Texas to lower ages in order to get

100
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: a weapon of war, to do away with any type

101
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: of laws that would make it safe for people to

102
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: you exist free. Oh, you can carry a gun anywhere

103
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: you want. I think that America is done. I think

104
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: that the America that you and I adults have grown

105
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: up in and understood is done. I believe that we

106
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: are already in an authoritarian environment where the majority of

107
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: this country is now held hostage by the NRA and

108
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 1: a handful of senators who are bought and sold like

109
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: hookers from the NRA, who could care less about anything

110
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: other than their own power and money. And it's disgraceful.

111
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: And I can say all of the things that I've

112
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: been saying for years. We had the Vice President Kamala

113
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: Harris say, after she attended the funeral of the eighty

114
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: six year old black grandmother who was killed at Tops

115
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: grocery in Buffalo, we need a band on assault rifles

116
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: in this country, plain and simple. Joe Biden would then

117
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: echo her sentiments, and I say, where is the fucking

118
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: executive order? You have access to the smartest people in

119
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: the country, probably on the planet. Why is there no

120
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,599
Speaker 1: war room that has been put together to figure out

121
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: how to maneuver around the gun Loophole's Why are there

122
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: not constitutional scholars that are in this war room for

123
00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: the administration to put together the plans to keep Americans is,

124
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: particularly our children safe. Why do Democrats keep giving Republicans

125
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt as if they haven't continually

126
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: showed you they don't give a fuck about your constitution,

127
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: They don't give a fuck about the lives of children,

128
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: They don't care about the rules and morals that have

129
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: governed this country, as imperfect as it is. I just

130
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: don't know what else you need to see and order

131
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: to just do what needs to be done, and damn

132
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: the fucking consequences. How about putting everything in place, leaving

133
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: everything on the fucking field, instead of just acquiescing to

134
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: this neo authoritarian state that we're living in. I don't

135
00:10:55,320 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: get it. And you know, frankly, when I was on

136
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: Aim and Mohadeen's show on Sunday, I you know, was

137
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: not on there to talk about guns. I was on

138
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: to talk about the midterm elections and to talk about

139
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 1: the information that keeps being quote unquote discovered by journalists

140
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: as they get access to more documents and more subpoenas

141
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 1: around the insurrection. And we all know now right that

142
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was sitting watching TV gleefully as his followers

143
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: were violently attempting to overthrow the government. We know that

144
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: Donald Trump said that Mike Pence should be hanged. We

145
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: know that Mark Meadows was burning papers in his office.

146
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: All of these people are still walking around free, and

147
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: they'll continue to There'll be no accountability, There'll be no responsibility.

148
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: If America makes it another handful of years, and by

149
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: a handful, I mean like literally to the presidential election

150
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, I will be surprised. And when

151
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: I say America, I mean that this false idea that

152
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: we have of this country. There are people who still believe,

153
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: who are still under some type of spell and believe

154
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: that America is not going to fall, that our democracy

155
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: will maintain. When everything is showing you things to the contrary,

156
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: I don't get it. And you know, I tell you all,

157
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: I am ye of little faith. I have little faith

158
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: in our institutions. I have less faith in the people

159
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: that are running them. I have no faith in this

160
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: administration to get anything done that will safeguard US ten

161
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. They're saying, maybe to cancel student loan debt

162
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: for millions of Americans that are billions of dollars in debt,

163
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: mostly to the government. I broke my toe and you know,

164
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: was talking to the doctor about health insurance and care

165
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: in this country, and everything here is horrific. Our healthcare

166
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: is shit, our government is shit. And I'm sorry, folks

167
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: like I genuinely, I gotta tell you it pains me

168
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: and I have been, as you all know, struggling. I

169
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: watched a really good segment that Aim and Mohaddeen did

170
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday ahead of my hit with a mental health provider,

171
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 1: and I forget her name, is a black woman who

172
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: was talking about what can now be referred to as

173
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: our compounded trauma. It is when multiple events, multiple crises,

174
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: are just stacked one after the other, and that America

175
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: is also suffering, on top of everything else, a mental

176
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: health crisis. More people are now dealing with depression now

177
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: than in twenty nineteen before the pandemic. There have been

178
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: higher rates of attempted suicide. I've watched so many specials

179
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: with the young kids who are you know, six ten

180
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: teenagers about how they're suffering. I want you to think

181
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: about what it could possibly be like to be a

182
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: little kid. I don't care. Elementary school, middle school, high school.

183
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: They're all children to me going to school these days,

184
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: and I mean these days as in like the last

185
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: several decades, I don't know how you could possibly concentrate

186
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: on learning. Every door slam, every bell ring would send

187
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: me through the roof with fear, with anxiety, crippling fear

188
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: and anxiety. I sit on the couch and I just

189
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: listen to these interviews, one after the other of these

190
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: young kids from rob Elementary School in Uivaldi, and I

191
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: burst into tears, and I am hundreds of miles away,

192
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: cloistered in my apartment where I don't really want to

193
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: leave because I'm terrified. Hey, I'm David Plots of Slates

Speaker 1: Political Gabfest. As another election season accelerates, it can be

195
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,040

00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,360

00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: you what issues really matter. We do not always agree,

199
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: we definitely do not always agree, but we always deliver

200
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,640

Speaker 1: you get your podcast. New episodes every Tuesday. Friends of

212
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: mine you know have recently said who live in the city,

213
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: or like, I don't want to take the subway anymore.

214
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: I don't think that I'm going to be taking the

215
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: subway anymore. So if I can't get to where I'm

216
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: going walking or just paying the exorbitant fucking uber and

217
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: Lift prices, like I'm not going because the idea of

218
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: sitting on a subway when we've had two subway shootings

219
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: in the month of May, it's too much. So it's like,

220
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: if we are adults and literally have the emotional capacity

221
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: to work through our emotions and we are struggling. What

222
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: the fuck do you think that little kids are doing?

223
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: How do you think that they are coping. This little

224
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: boy six years old and rob elementary school, and he

225
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: was standing with his mom as his being interviewed on MSNBC,

226
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: and his mother is tearfully telling the reporters that he

227
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,959
Speaker 1: doesn't want to go back to school, and she's like,

228
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: I really pray that he will eventually, like the school

229
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: year is now done. But when the reporters said, why

230
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: don't you want to go back to school, he said,

231
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: because I'm scared. I don't want to die. I don't

232
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: want to die. He's six. Compounded trauma, a global health

233
00:18:53,160 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 1: pandemic that is not gone, will probably never be gone,

234
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: Escalated racism and hate crimes, escalated mass shootings, and we

235
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: have election in less than six months that posters are

236
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: telling us Republicans will regain control of the House, which

237
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: is essentially handing over the House of Representatives to the Taliban.

238
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: Like that's the thing that I'm like, why are we

239
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 1: mincing words? Why do we have such strong words and

240
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: conviction when it comes to naming the violence that those

241
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: outside of the United States do against their own people.

242
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: We have no problem referring to other black and brown

243
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: leaders in dictator as what they are, dictators, murderers, right,

244
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 1: authoritarian is fascists. But when it comes to naming and

245
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: describing the people who are causing the most violence, rise

246
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: and hate in this country, it seems that our leaders

247
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 1: struggle like a cat's got their tongue. Handing over the

248
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: keys to the House of Representatives to the white supremacist

249
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 1: Council is akin to handing it over to isis to

250
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: the Taliban, to a guerrilla militia, and thinking that, well,

251
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: I hope that they do the right thing. What like,

252
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: these people are known terrorists, they're known killers. Oh, but

253
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: they're telling you that they're gonna do right. So you're

254
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: going to give them the benefit of the doubt and

255
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: not trust past behavior and not trust the patterns that

256
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: you that they have established. We're just going to take

257
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: their word for it. If I were a billionaire, unlike

258
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: fucking Elon Musk and the rest of these wealthy white

259
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: ciss fucking hetero like egomaniacs, I would be pouring billions

260
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: of dollars into blanketed ads across this country, particularly in

261
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: Red states, particularly in battleground areas from now until fucking December,

262
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: when the elections will probably actually be decided. Every single

263
00:21:54,160 --> 00:22:00,959
Speaker 1: other ad would be about mass shootings, gun fires perpetrated

264
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: at the hands of white supremacists, and next to it

265
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: all of the Republicans and Democrats who take money from

266
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: the NRA. It would be the faces of young children,

267
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 1: one after the other, casually going about their day, and

268
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: then darkness hits running for their lives, covering themselves in

269
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 1: their friend's blood to pretend to be dead. It would

270
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: run non stop. You wouldn't be able to turn on

271
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: a podcast, turn on a screen without hearing or seeing it.

272
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: That's what I would do. I would pour money into

273
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 1: every single Democratic candidate for every single level of office

274
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: that the Democratic establishment decides to ignore because they don't

275
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: think that they're viable. If I were a multi billionaire,

276
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: I would be working round the clock to try and

277
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 1: save our democracy and putting pressure where pressure needed to be.

278
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: But you see, the white male Cis hetero billionaires in

279
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: this country, much as it with the poor white Cis

280
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: fucking hetero men, and this could only give a fuck

281
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: about themselves. It is that individualistic mentality, this raw selfishness,

282
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: the Gordon Gecko from Wall Street that is taken over

283
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: not only our culture, but our politics. It's a reason

284
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: why we are here. Things don't just atrophy overnight. It

285
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 1: takes time. And that is what has happened to our democracy.

286
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: It is completely atrophied because money in politics has literally

287
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: suffocated the people's ability to have a voice in power.

288
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: And so without that reflexive muscle being, what is actually

289
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: supposed to guide our representatives at the state, local, and

290
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: federal level that take an oath to do right by

291
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 1: the Constitution has died. And this is once again coming

292
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 1: at the hands of the Supreme Court, Citizens United, the

293
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: case that turned corporations into company, corporations into people can

294
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: give as much as they want money. Capitalism, greed is

295
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: why the gun lobby succeeds. It's why racism prevails. Think

296
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: about it. If you were to rid money from politics,

297
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: if you didn't need billions of dollars to run for president,

298
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: if you didn't need hundreds of millions of dollars to

299
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: run for Congress, if you take away the power of

300
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 1: the donor class and actually give it back to the people,

301
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: you think we would be in this position where the

302
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: last six elections the popular vote Democrats won, but they

303
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: only won the last two presidential elections. Don't you think

304
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: that over this time we would have changed how things

305
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: were actually done. But it is money and politics and

306
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 1: greed that disallows the people to be heard. I am

307
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: so worried about this summer because I know that with

308
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: summer comes a lot of violence, and with this compounded trauma,

309
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: swirling depression, easy access to guns, high inflation. I mean,

310
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: I went to go and buy some flowers the other

311
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 1: day for my patio, and I'm like, God, these are expensive.

312
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: And then I asked my mother and she goes, oh, well,

313
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,120
Speaker 1: if you watch like the local news, they were telling

314
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 1: us that the cost of flowers has gone up ten

315
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: to thirty Why because they're being shipped in from god

316
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: knows where, driven in from God knows where. And guess

317
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: what that is diesel? Guess what the cost of diesel is?

318
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: Will you all know? You pass gas stations and guess

319
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: who is offsetting who the companies are offsetting that cost

320
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: to the consumer. So you can't even buy a bundle

321
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: of flowers a fucking package of ground meat. I mean,

322
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:41,959
Speaker 1: so you just take all of these issues and I'm worried.

323
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: A friend of mine said recently, you know, the air

324
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: is really thick with anxiety. Be really mindful about like

325
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: your spidy senses as you are moving about. If you

326
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: feel on edge, if you're looking around and you're not

327
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: quite feeling right, leave, don't talk yourself out of it,

328
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: because I think that we are all going to kind

329
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: of go back to our hunter kind of feelings, Like

330
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: there are senses that we haven't needed, right, because we're

331
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: supposed to be in a civilized society. We are not.

332
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: We ignore a lot of those feelings, those gut feelings, right,

333
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: because we tell ourselves our mind is making it up.

334
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: And I'm saying to you now, I'm not ignoring mine anymore.

335
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: Fine on a subway, which I can't be because I

336
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,479
Speaker 1: have a broken toe and I can't really move around.

337
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,959
Speaker 1: I have a giant boot on my foot. But if

338
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: you find yourself on public transportation, in a store, theater

339
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: and you feel uneasy, listen to that feeling. It may

340
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: be what is going to save you. But it's this

341
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: feeling of just unease. Remember how I would talk about disease, right,

342
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: and the fact that worry, fear, anxiety, all of these

343
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: things create disease in our body, which makes it more

344
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: susceptible to illness. But there is this really deep feeling

345
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: of unease, don't feel safe anywhere, and I'm just like, so,

346
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: what does that do? It then creates this even deeper

347
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: sense of tribalism where we become untrusting of those around

348
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: us because our senses are up, our walls go up.

349
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: The ripple effects of what is happening, what has happened

350
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: so quickly if you think about this guy's twenty fifteen

351
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: to me, and probably earlier the beginning of the tea party,

352
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: so maybe that's around twenty ten, twenty eleven. This has

353
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: all been bubbling up for the last twelve years because

354
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: no one has been paying attention. Just politics as usual.

355
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: It's not Republicans are violent white supremacists who will do anything,

356
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: saying anything in order to assume power. They're doing nothing.

357
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: They don't care about the violence that's ensuing because it's

358
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: not going to affect them right now. It will eventually,

359
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: trust and believe, but right now, they're in their seventies

360
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: and eighties. If they have kids, it's really their grandkids now,

361
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: and they're at private schools or boarding schools where incidents

362
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: of violence like this so far are not happening, so

363
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: they don't care. When was the last time that any

364
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: member of Congress who has been in Congress for decades,

365
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: not the new Cohort, have been inside of a grocery store?

366
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: When was the last time they did anything that wasn't

367
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: seriously vetted? So they're going to be protected. The wealthy

368
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: the why the powerful, they're good. It is everybody else

369
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: who is basically playing Russian Roulette every time that we

370
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: leave our homes. I've been thinking a lot about what

371
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: to do and what I can say right now. For me,

372
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: at the very least is I'm just going to continue

373
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: telling the truth until it becomes increasingly dangerous for me

374
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: to do so, because I believe that we will get

375
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: to that place where it is going to be actually

376
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: physically dangerous for people like myself to continue to be

377
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: out and vocal about what is going on in this country.

378
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: I will continue to encourage people to gather their community,

379
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: run at all levels, give money if you can, volunteer

380
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: if you can do so safely. But honestly, I don't

381
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: know how to get rid of this nagging sense of unease.

382
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: I'm doubling down on my meditation. I've picked up of

383
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: a book that I put down to kind of detach

384
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: myself a bit from my phone, from the news so

385
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: that I can just be. So whatever momentary solace you

386
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: can provide for yourself, walking as clearly on hold until July,

387
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,239
Speaker 1: so I won't be doing that. And because of that,

388
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: I've started to have this sense of nervousness today around well,

389
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: what am I going to do to stay mentally well?

390
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: Because if I can't do physical activity in any real way,

391
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: I have to figure out ways to give my mind

392
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: and my heart rest. And I think all of us

393
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: do whatever it is that we have been doing. You know,

394
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: we may have fallen off, as I admitted to and

395
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: have admitted too, but the recognition of falling into old

396
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 1: patterns is even as Young Pueblo, a writer, poet, an

397
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,919
Speaker 1: author has said, is part of your progress because when

398
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: you initially were in old patterns, you weren't even recognizing

399
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,439
Speaker 1: them as patterns. So even if we have fallen off

400
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: of what has been keeping us mentally and physically, well,

401
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:08,760
Speaker 1: let's use this time as we enter into summer officially

402
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 1: as a reenergizer to redouble our efforts to try some

403
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: things that are new to collectively ground us. Because, friends,

404
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: what we are up against, what we are headed, this

405
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:31,720
Speaker 1: headwind that we are headed towards is a dangerous one,

406
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: and I believe that if we are not emotionally, spiritually, physically,

407
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: and mentally prepared for it, we will not survive. So

408
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 1: think about what it is that you have been doing

409
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: that has offered you moments, hours, you know, times of solace,

410
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: and figure out how you double those efforts. For me,

411
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 1: I've decided I'm going to finish one of the books

412
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,760
Speaker 1: that I'm reading. I have three more. I'm doing fiction

413
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: because I've had enough nonfiction right now. I'm doing particularly

414
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: African futurism, which is like my go to. It's really wonderful.

415
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: So I'm going to read. I'm going to detach. I'm

416
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 1: going to go into other worlds and other spaces to

417
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 1: re energize my spirit and my imagination. Because I find

418
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: that when I detach from news, I give my mind

419
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: an opportunity to dream, to envision, to imagine. I start

420
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: to think differently, and that allows me to have different

421
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: perspectives and associations and understanding with our reality. So think

422
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: for yourself. What does that look like for you? And

423
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,919
Speaker 1: then double those efforts and will continue being in conversation

424
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: about it. Share in the comments section about things that

425
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: you were trying and doing and what has worked for you.

426
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: If you have fallen off and you find yourself back

427
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: in this twenty four hour recycle of news and anxiety

428
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:14,240
Speaker 1: and stress and depression, be easy with yourself. It's so

429
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: difficult not to fall back into these things, particularly when

430
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: these tragedies happen so frequently. So as we head into

431
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: this week and we have no idea what it brings,

432
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 1: think about what is one thing that you are going

433
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: to be using this week to help you emotionally, physically, spiritually,

434
